Gender Interactions in the Relationship between Extraversion and Neuroticism and Psychopathy

Relationships between neuroticism and extraversion and psychopathy were tested to determine whether borderline or histrionic traits reflect a female phenotype of psychopathy. Higher extraversion predicted greater fearless dominance in men and women, and positively predicted impulsive antisociality in men. Gender did not moderate the relationship between neuroticism and psychopathy dimensions.
